Plastic straws embedded in the nostrils of sea turtles. Polyester microfibers
in the foodchain. It seems every day there is a news story about the devastation plastic pollution is causing in our oceans and seas and its impacts on sea-life as well as humankind. According to the "Foresight Future of the Sea" report, released this March from the UK Government Office for Science, 70% of marine litter is non-degradable plastic which is projected to increase threefold between 2015 and 2025.On
April 11th, A sperm whale washed up on a beach in Spain with 64 pounds of
plastic and waste in its stomach.The cause of death was an abdominal infection, called peritonitis - the whale could not digest the waste it had swallowed, causing its digestive system to rupture.

waters. However, YOU CANMAKE A DIFFERNCE THIS SUMMERby joining
